FRENCH' PAPERS. (From the _Doile, dated Wednesday.) CORFU, SEPT. 20.—Letters from Zente, of the 2d of this month, ear that it is very certain that Ibrahim Pacha has been afraid to go and join the Capitan Paella at Nava tin, though the Admiral wrote him a letter, inviting him to come and confer with him on the operations of a new campaign, and receive a pelisse and sabre which the Sul tan sent him. Ibrahim, on receiving this letter, instead of repairing to Nayarin, abandoned Nisei, and went to Tripolizza with his army. It is well known that he is blockaded there, though he makes sallies, in which much blood is shed. Letters from Prevesa, of 11th of this month, say that the Seraskier, when he withdrew from the camp before Athens, left the direction of the siege to Omer Pacha, of Carysto, and went to the fortress of NegTopont ; but that the reasons of this step were not known. They say that there has been a very smart action at a place called Mulki, on the side of. Thebes, with Karaiskaki and two other Cheek Captains, but without any deeisive advantage on either aide; that, in consequence of orders received from Constantinople, he has attempted to penetrate into the Mores by the Isthmus 'of Corinth, for the purpose of re lieving and reinforcing Ibrahim, but that he has not been able to succeed. kis added, that Beker Aga, Governor of Prevesa, having arrived there, on his return from Mis solonglii, he had gone to pay him a visit, and that the Go vernor appeared extremely uneasy, and had asked him for news from the Morea with an eagerness which proves that neither the Baker Aga nor the Seraskier are acquainted with the rettl situation of Ibrahim. • The Doke of Ragman had his final audience of the Emperor of Russia and the Einpress-mother, on the 29th of September, and was to have his audience of leave of the reigning Empress, on the let of October. The Emperor has conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Andrew, and those of St. Anne and St. Alexander Neweky. Lady Cochrane set out on the 11th of this month from Geneva for Italy, • where she will embark for Greece to join his Lordship. Moscow, SEPT. 22.—On•the day of the celebration of the Fete of the Chevaliers Gerdes, the Empress wore the colour of the uniform of that regiment—namely, white and red, At the parade, which followed after the religious ceremony, this Princess, in the capacity of Chief of the regiment, passed along in front of the whole line, spoke to several soldiers, and addressed to the corps a speech suited to the occasion, which she ended by assuring it of her affection. • Their Imperial and Royal Majesties and Highnesses, as .well as all the superior Officers, ad. • journetl then , to : a tent, where a breakfast a la four dime, had been • prepared. The Ladies of 'Honour performed there, the service of Aid-de-CaMps and poured out the beverage to the p ersons w h o had been presented. The Empress gaVe the first toast to the " Pre servation of the Regiment ;" and immediatelyafter, " The health of his Majesty the Emperor." The Monarch, in reply to the wish expressed by. his august consort, drank to the." Prosperity of the regiment ;" and immediately afterwards to the " Unchangeable health of bar Majesty the Empress Alexandra." This toast was enthusi as ti ca ll y repeated by all preient, and accompanied by the acclama tions of the soldiers on the outside of the tent, and by the sound of trumpets and kettle-drums. Dinner was next served up to the soldiers, with %rand brandy. The Em press tasted all the dishes prior tb their being put on the table, to ascertain if they were well d resse d. '['he Marshal Duke of Ragusa, fearing that the palace of Prince Icourakin, whlah he inhabits, might not prove suf ticently spacious for the proper accommodation and recep tion of the vast number of gliests invited to his ball, or dered a saloon of ettraordinary size to be constructed in the:court-yard, which was decorated with the utmost nutinifieenee, and splendidly lighted up. The expenee of this building was valued at 40000yubles. mina, Thera is to 1w a. ball foul supper at the Duke of Devonshire's. A great number of Officers have petitioned the Ern pew to be hollowed with appointments to regiments going to Persia. The French brig Emilie, of Fecamp, Capt. Lepore, was met on the Nth of September last in view of Adra by the schooner Repalleano, a Colombian pirate, captured, and taken to Gibraltar, under the pretext that she had on board merchandise belonging to the Spaniards. A captain .of a vessel commanding the naval division on the Cadiz ,station, being informed of this circumstance by the French Consul in that city, sent the brig Euryale to Algesiras to observe the Cohmibiano and use all possible means to have the V'eneh ship released. This mission was attend- . . ecl with the most complete likens. The Commander, of the Euryala having anchored at Algeciras, proceeded to Gibraltar to the French Consul, and after an interview with the Captain of the eorsair, in which he proved that the latter had,exceedril his powers, and viOlatnig the laws . . of neutrality, exposed himself .to just reprisals, the Emilie ' - 'srati liberated, and sixteen piastres u day paid for the time she had been detained. • PAM, OCT. 18.—On Sunday,, before mass, the King delivered to the Papal Nuncio the Cardinal's hat recently conferred upon him by his Holiness. On Sunday evening the Duchess of Berry gave a soiree, which was honoured by the presence of the King. f„.lrd Ilarrowby had the honour of a private audience of the Kii yesterday. Yestero:v being the anniversary of the death of her late Majesty, Afur;9 Antoinette, the King, accompanied by the Dauphin and Au Duchess of Berry, attended Divine Service, at the Chapel Royal of the Tuileries. Among the distinguished persons present, were the Cabinet Mi nisters, the Cardinals de la Fare and Latil, the Ainbassa dors of Spain and • Naples, the Great Offieers of the Crown, and the Officers of the different Royal Households, The Dauphiness attended Mass at the Expiatory Chapel in the rue d'Anjou. It is rumoured that several promotions JO be made in the army and navy, in honour of St. Charles's day. (From the Constilutionmel.) 11.16115 A, Sep'r. 20:—Something of an extraordinary nature is passing on the other side of our horizon. The Austrian police is all anxiety about it. Emissaries, who are said to be Russians, have arrived at Montenegro. The I l iadic& has assembled a Council of all tile Haranhassas at Genet/well.

We received at a late hour the Moniteur of yes terday by express. It copies a paragraph from the Doile, stating it to have been the general opinion at Odessa that peace would be maintained between _Russia and the Porte, by the SULTAN accepting the ultimatum, in order to perfect his reform. , The French Funds rose—thc Three per Cents. were 67f. '76c. We received last night the Paris Papers of Tues day, and the Etoile of Wednesday morning, and we have given in another column extracts from them. Want of confidence is manifest amongst the Turkish Commanders engaged against Greece. IBRAHIM suspecting the good faith of the CAPITAN PACIIA, who had invited him to come to Nayarit), for the purpose of conferring with him on the operations of a new campaign, had declined join ing him, although a pelisse and sabre sent by the SULTAN were awaiting his arrival. It is said, that instead of repairing to Navarin, IBRAHIM on receive ing this letter abandoned Nissi, and went with his army to Tripolizza, where he is blockaded. The Greek Admiral TOMBAZI, has addressed a letter to M. ENNA an, thanking him for his` exertions in the cause of Greece, and committing the education of his only son to the city of Geneva, which has ae et te it. d the charge, and appointed a Committee to performi The Etoile states, that a letter from Madrid men tiona , that M. Court, had o bt a i ne d from the Spanisli Government de SOUZA, Portuguese Envoy at that a promise to restore the arms and equipments of the Portuguese deserters. It is added, that by the exist ing treaties, each o f t h e two Governments may re eeive the deserters of the other, but they must reci procally restore their 4 rrnand a ccoutrements , as we ll t, as the horses and their furniture.

Emissaries, 'who are said to be Russians. have arrived at Montenegro. - • '• Under the 6ad'of Moscow is given an account of I the proceedings of the Empress on the day of the evic t bration of ' the fete of the Chevalier Gardes. Her. 1/ A i my , on t hi s oeeasi; ) u, stems to have played, her part well, 'as Colonel of tlait Regiment. After re vieWing, and addressing the corps, she entertained the 'Wirers at a breakfitst' a la ,Iburchette, at which her Ladies of Honour performed the service of Aide-de- Camps, and . poured. out the beverage to the persons who had been presented. Her IMPERIAL MAJESTY herself gave the toasts, and we conclude drank them. In short the order of things was reversed, and the EMPEROR seems to have quietly looked on, w hil e hi s ' august spouse.. sustained the character of a Dragoon Officer. After this breakfast, dinner was served up to the soldiers with a liberal allowance of brandy. The EMPRESS tasted all the dishes prior to their being put . on the table, to asceaam whether they were well dressed—but the French Papers ,do not mention whether her MAJESTY likewise . tasted each bowl of brandy served out on this occasion. 'We admire not such departures from the delicacy of female conduct ; and we can only conclude that it is found necessary to engage the attachment of the army by any means which are likely to effect that object. These Papers contain but little French news. The French brig Emilie, which had been detained by a Colombian Pirate, had been liberated in consequence of the Cominander of a French brig having (as it is stated) proved that the Captain of the Corsair had violated the IaWS of neutrality, and exposed, to just reprisals. If, however, the accounts from Gibraltar of this transaction .e correct, the French Commander did not obtain this restitution by merely confuting his antagonist in argument on the laws* of Nations. TALMA is still alive, but his malady is of the most dangerous description. FRYNCII FUNDS, OCT. 17. Five per Cents 9Bf. 75e. 70e. 75e. 70c. _ Three per Cente 67f. 15c. 10c. sc. 10c.

By the Dutch Mail 'which arrived yesterday, the Journal of St. Petershingh of the 23d ult. was received, It contains another long list of promotions and favours . _ nation. Amongst the latter we perceive that our countrymen, Sir J. WYLLIE, chief of the Medical Staff' of the Russian Army, has been honoured by a rescript expressing his MAJESTY'S acknowledgments for the Doctor's services and zeal; accompanied with a snuff box set in diamonds, with his MAJESTY'S cipher. The following article, describes the rejoicings at Riga on the receipt of the news of the Coronation. On all these occasions in Russia we observe that liba tions of the jolly god are freely indulged in. In this instance red and white wine flowed from a fountain in the form of an imperial eagle,, erected in the Market place RIGA, SEPT. 20.—The news of their Majesties' corona tion having arrived here on thit 11th, Marquis Paulucci, the Governor, immediately proceeded to make preparations for the festivities which were to take place in this city. On the 14th Divine Service was performed with pomp in all the churches. At ten the Civil and Military Autho ritiei' the Deputation of the Clergy, th e C onsu l s an d pr i n . cipalMerchants, went to the hotel of his Excellency to pay their compliments. There was afterwards a grand parade of the troops at which Divine Service was performed, and a salute of 101 pus fired during the p ra y ers f or t h e Im perial Family. The civil and military dined under tents, and an entertainment was given to the poor in all the charitable ipstitutions ; and in the course of the day, red and white, wine flowed from a fountain in the form of an imperial eagle, erected in the market-place, and some.pri vate . persons threw money among the people. In the evening there was a splendid ball at the Governor's Pa lace. For two evenings the theatre was open gratis, thel body of merchants defraying the expencei., The city and suburbs were illuminated for three successive evepings. The Jews had Divine Service in their synagogue for the first three days, and liberally distributed alms to prisoners, without distinction of religion. Various other acts of charity were done by the Aobility of Livonia and the merchants. At the time that a certain class of politicians in this country, anti a large part of the practical part of the community, are condemning the principles of free trade, which his MAJESTY'S Government have determined to act upon, and attributing all the disasters which have occurred within the last twelvemonths to the operation of these principles, and foreboding the ruin of the country for a perseverance in dial, we find that the people of France are equally averse to recipro city in commercial intercourse, and equally alarrneti at its consequences to their own country. It will be seen by our extracts from the French Papers, that the Quo tidienne states, that much is said at present in Pari s relative to aof Is Tre atyi c n A er N ce N betGw, and adds, th at ' France an d England, proposed by they have no occasion to know the basis of it to con jecture what advant age the French wou ld draw from it. it is enough, they say, that it be founded on re ciprocity, which they hold to be inadmissible, unless their rulers have conspired the ruin of France. N o w it is evident.that if the reciprocity of commer cial intercourse be injurious to France, it cannot be so to England ; and that therefore the alarm on one side or other of the water, at the consequences cf it, must be unfounded. But the fact isp that reciprocity of :.~~, • i n ie rc aurse cannot be injurious to either country, but must be benefit;..i in the highest degree to both, acted upon by each nationr with good faith to t! other. There can be no doubt that• if this country were always to admit Frewh goods without restriaion, notwithstanding the perseverance of France to exclude ours, France would derive nearly exclusive benefit from 'such a system ; and might well wish to retain it with out allosking any countervailing advantagzs to Great Britain. But the very principle of the measures adopted by his MAJESTY% Ministers, involved the neces sity of recip t oeal conet.4:ions being made by those countries whose prodattions v,..e admitted into our ports ; and if this freedom of intercourse was not insisted upon in the case of some couritries, it was postponed under the conviction that those countries would soon see that their own interests would be ad vanced by adopting measures which would lead to a continuance of those which this country had adopted, but which she would abandon, so far as those coun tries were concerned, unless they also made mutual concessions. We have no doubt that Mr. CANNING has set this question in a clear and distinct manner before the French Government, and pretty plainly spewed them the necessity of entering ditto a commer cial treaty founded on principles of perfect reciprocity ; and we have as little doubt that the French Govern ment will, notwithstanding the narrow minded policy upon which perhaps the nation generally would wish them to act, adopt a course which will be mutually beneficial to two nations, which, though rivals in war, may, in peace, contribute to the comforts and prosperity of each other. We received this morning the Austrian Observer of the Bth instant. It contains, under the head of News from Greece, an account of some serious mis understanding between two hot-headed but influential young Chiefs in Corinth, who, in the true spirie,of Grecian rivalry, wished to settle the point of, prece dence in the Morea, after an idle wa'r of words, by having recourse to arms. The misunderstanding was at first treated slightly by the Government, but when it assumed more importance by threatening to involve the Morea in civil war, a deputation 'of the most dis tinguished and prudent members of the' Government was sent to allay the ferment, and appease the angry spirits of the storm. After putting an end to the troubles in Corinth, the Deputies, ' with COLOCO TRONI, and all the troops there, and those they took from Napoli, will proceed against IBRAHIM PACHA, who, in consequence of these disturbances, has done nbi little mischief in the Morea. It is a great pity that thew hot-headed Greeks, who desire a precedence their title to such distinction, by being foremost in driving the enemy from their country, when, if their merits did not entitle them to the first honours, they would at least have the proud satisfaction of having deserved them : . is enough that it be founded on reciprocity, which we bold to be inadmissable, unless our rulers have conspired the ruin of France. 1 BUCHAREST, SEPT. ( Private Correiprelenee.).--- The Suit= wishing to remove all objection With those de ikons of beeoling convert* to Islareitoe has dispenerd with the necessity of abstaiiiing from wine, and with itnothe, obligation which is, cwisidered rather a roil tier of diseiplinf than of docirine. Two thouitand publie.firsee h ese b een opened, which may be held indiscriminstel t p es i ong o f*„? .uttions. On the wines and all other spirit t t liqu o r s a t is imposed, which will yield a revenue equal 10 more than millions of francs. Notwithstanding these useful meastir‘ii,' the old Mahometan population is in a Ntate•of dreadfC exasperation. The Illernas and Soplitas, who compose in eighth of the sedentary part of the popidatioa of C o n.. stantmople, are very tartmlent, but they are soon, c o st i n t o boats, and transported to Asia. This has- hem the cause of some of the conflagretions which have tal:ertplaee within these three days, anti it is probable, when the lopg nights come, the Turks will try to worm themselves by settinir lire to the capital. There is some talk of attacking the corps of Bostangis; we will soon learn. They are provi eionmg the fortresses on the Danube, as if war was ex pected from one moment to another. The Moldavians and Wallachians are expecting the Russians, but. it is probable the Persian war will retard the occupation of the provinces beyond the Danube, for the Emperor' Nicholas, with his 800,000 men wants money, and will not, p er h a p s , f or that reason, be able to send more than 60,000 to reinforce General Yermaloff. It is now we feel the charm of the military colonies of the Emperor Alexander, and the mis fortune of being drawn into the political deceptions of Austria. Russia chiefly depends upon the Cossacks; but as they must be fed while they are marching, to meet the Persians, and will be subject to all the maladies produced by change of climate, it is impossible to foresee how this war, which so unexpectedly commenced, will end.

Commission of Government, of , eleven Members, and a Committee of thitteen members. By a notice of this .Committee, of the 14th August, published in the Napoli Gazette of the lath August, this National Assembly is convoked to meet on the let (13) Septem ber, in the little island of Poros (north of Hydlia, in the Gulf of Athens), to conclude its labours. The next Number of the Napoli Gazette (the universal Gazette of Greece), of the 19th August, contains a Pro clamation from the Commission of Government, dated 15th August, to all the Peloponnesians, announcing the sending of Andreas Zarni, the President, P.

We gave in our latest edition of yesterday a full re port of the proceedings at the Common Hall of the City of Londo n , h e ld f or t h e purpose of petitioning both Hou ses o f P ar li ament for the repeal of the Corn Laws ; and we reprint to-day the part which did not appear in our First Edition. It will be seen that this meeting did not differ in its character from that of all other m ee ti n g s h e ld by the same body. If it presented a scene of l ess no i se an d con f us i on , it a ffbrded so me of the City orators an opportunity to spout, and Mr. HUNT one, to exhibit his homely, but certainly forci hie style of address, including every possible subject which could be introduced on such an occasion. A good cause frequently suffers from the bad hands into which it ma y f a ll, and yesterday's meeting exhibited a tolerable specimen of this truth. If arguments no b e t ter, nor more powerful, than those use d b y the - be adduced for an alter a ti on o f t h e 1 ,7: 1d n d if the repeal of those L aws necessar i ly s e p o ea rn kez a , w and enact merits would-lie Salesmen, the cont i nuance of the pre sent included en wh ich interference tbefab ri i nstit utions cwoitfhsociety.rests, as urged by these s ystem of the Corn Law; would be advocated by nineteen-twentieths of those who now plead for their alteration. Happily, however, the question of the Corn Laws is an insulated one, and their repeal, nit der certain modification; can be urged by those 4 „ who are the firmest friends of the Constitution of the country in Church and State as at pre , Ant established, and will, we have little doubt, be brought about by those who will sacrifice personal considerations ref in terest to the honourable object of promoting their country's welfare. 4 . A rumour was very prevalent yesterday that it is the intention of Ministers to propose to Parliament the imposition of a tax of 5!. per cent. on all real pro perty ; and that to render this measure less objections-• able to the great Proprietors of Land and Stock, aril" • / at the same time to give relief to the middling classes:'` rlw ;hole . of the assessed taxes are to be repealed. • Of the actual intentions of his Majesty's Ministers,. • with respect to measures of Finance, nothing can yet -. be positively known—but of this we are certain that as a tax on property, not extending to income derived from personal exertions, trade, and occupations, is the most just in principle, so it would be found not only the best in practice, but the most popular tax Which could be imposed. At present the Capitalist, the Absentee, and the Foreigner, may derive all the advantages which the security and certainty of pa) .- ment• of our Funds afford, without contributing in any degree to the necessary expences of the country, by which that security and certainty of payment can alone be maintained. By the imposition of a Pro perty Tax these persons would be made to bear their portion of the national burthens, and the object which we have before advocated of recogniiing the fund holders' stock, as being property as secure as the laud, and at the same time of rendering it subject to some of the charges to which landed property is liable, word'' ,to a certain extent be effected. The produce of tax of 5/. pet cent. on the amount of the dividends pa' to the public would be upwards of one million and en half, and the ROTHSCHILDS, the Bank, the Scotch Banks, and the great Companies, would contr ibute 3 large proportion of this sum to the national Treasury. Feeling, therefore, as we do, on this subject, it will bit highly gratifying to us to be able to confirm those rumours, which, .from their very general circulation, seem to be considered as having some foundation, if not to the eitent above stated, at least to the amount of 24. per cent.
